A medic’s a prophet (4)
I believe the answer is:
amos
'a prophet' is the definition.
(biblical prophet)
'a medic's' is the wordplay.
'medic's' becomes 'mo's' (medical officer).
'a'+'mos'='AMOS'
(Other definitions for amos that I've seen before include "Old Testament prophet" , "Biblical character" , "Prophet in the Bible" , "Old Testament book" , "Hebrew prophet" .)
